Info about the wine
The grapes for this wine come from limestone vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d'Alba, La Morra and other selected vineyards in the Langhe region. The age of the vines is between 25 and 40 years.
Info about the expansion
The hand-picked grapes are destemmed. After a short cold maceration, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks for a total of about two weeks. Remontage and deslestage take place regularly to achieve an optimal extraction of colour and tannins. After the malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged - for about 12 months - partly in large wooden barrels, barriques and stainless steel tanks.
Color
Muted violet-red, slightly cloudy, colour-dense to the rim.
Nose
Warm and juicy, the 2019 Barbera d'Alba Trevigne immediately captures you with its fragrance, sweet cherries, plums, a hint of chocolate and many wild herbs line its path. At the same time, it is the stony coolness that gives it structure and fascination, smoky tobacco notes also emerge. What a seducer, what a charmer.
Palate
With lots of fruit and extremely fine tannin, it lies on the tongue, its acidity is invigorating and the stony minerality omnipresent. There is an incredible amount of wine in the glass for relatively little money. Every sip seduces you to drink more, the tasty Italian cuisine will love it - and so will you.
